heh, alright alright. I have to say I didnt know anything of giving it a wav header and muxing in vdub, I was under the impression that vbr mp3 + nandub = the best way to go :|

UGH. 1.1MB? What, is it like 5 frames per second at 80x60 resolution?

You won't find too many people willing to download a video file that small
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."

ew.. I really dont recommend WMV. I mean, sure, its better than MPEG 1, and sure, its based on the DivX 3.11 codec that most of us use, but it still tends to pale in quality to DivX 5, RealVideo 9, XviD, and DivX 3.11 WITH sbc :\

WMV = teh bad
DivX 3.11 sbc, DivX 5, XviD, RealVideo 9 = teh good

or to be more accurate MPEG 1 < WMV < Real9 ~ DivX 5 ~ DivX 3.11 sbc ~ XviD
at the same size (bitrate)

You were the one who said "the best thing"

I know you know lots about audio/video technology but I think you'll realise when you actually finish a video that in order to make the thing in a form that everyone can play you have to dispense with many of the new-fangled toys due to incompatibilities and the general public's unwillingness to try new things.

I'm just making people aware of what works best for amv distribution, not works best for your personal dvd rips, so forgive me if I keep appearing and telling you that you are wrong. You are smart enough to be able to make your own desicions about such tech matters but not eveyone is, so try and avoid giving people advice that is not appropriate for their needs.


yeah... sorta' I use DivX for my audio cuz I already use DivX 3 for my video

if anybody could convince me to use uncompressed pcm (like 4mb+ more!) or Radius (which requires another codec) or something else for my LQs I'm all ears! (cept that pointy thing sticking out of my face, that's a nose. ;-p)

speaking of all ears and good audio I just LOVE Phade's Material Girl vid, idunno if it's the cymbals but it seems like its got AWESOME audio quality! I have a fairly recent soundcard but the crappiest 4.1 setup you can think of (fact I can't even surround myself with speakers! My sub SUCKS, my bro took it out of the corner so now it sucks more...). I mean I can listen to that audio all day (sometimes do ;-p) so audio means alot to me, obviously ;-p my point... this shoulda' been a journal entry.

speaking of bad audio ;-p I love bashing on ppl that only have wmvs of their vids. 'sounds like it was put through a washer, lost, turned inside out and spit out the exhaust!!'

But for 1.1mb I'd think twice about that!! It's 4:00 minutes of ACTION?? not just still pics... it's not LPZ is it??
